Re: Base values of quads and triple Axels raised, new 1/4-1/2 rule for under-rotation
I've seen a number of female skaters attempt it in the last few years, but usually they couldn't hold it for 2 revolutions and/or they couldn't hold the centering. Takahashi's was the best I've seen.
And yes, I agree it should still count as a feature.
* Although I am happy they changed the rule for change of edge spins counting as a level feature - "Clear change of edge in sit (only from backward inside to forward outside) or camel" - I think they should also have allowed this feature to still count in Layback spins. It's quite difficult to change edge in a Layback and can look interesting too. In fact, Daisuke Takahashi is the only person who I've seen attempt such a move. He did it in his Short Program last season.
